In a frying pan, add 150 grams of sugar and 120 ml of water.

Add a slice of lemon and 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder.

Cook until the sugar melts and then set aside.

For the dough, mix 175 grams of flour with half an egg, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of sugar.

Mix in 50 grams of milk and 25 grams of water, then add 2 tablespoons of oil.

Knead the mixture by hand until it forms a dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Mix 4 tablespoons of ghee with 3 tablespoons of flour and refrigerate until hard.

After 20 minutes, roll out the dough into five pieces, each weighing about 61 grams.

Roll each piece into flat circles and brush with ghee, sprinkling flour in between each layer.

Stack the rolled circles, pressing them down as you go, and then roll them into a log shape.

Let the rolled dough rest for 15 minutes.

Cut the rolled dough into pieces about 2 inches long using a knife.

Shape each piece by turning and pressing to form the desired shape.

Heat oil for frying, ensuring it is not too hot, and test with a small piece of dough.

Fry until golden brown, turning as needed, then place on a wire rack to drain.

Dip each fried piece into the prepared syrup and place on a plate.
